Weylin Neyra is a Nicaraguan-American artist
whose paintings explore dreamlike states of
transformation, where memory, identity, and
landscape quietly blur and reassemble.





Weylin Neyra

B.1991

Miami, Florida ⨫ Austin, Texas


Weylin is a painter whose work inhabits the threshold between memory and imagination, identity and transformation. Using oil paint to render figures that appear to dissolve into—or emerge from—dreamlike landscapes, Neyra creates visual meditations on the emotional and spiritual states that shape us.

His paintings often feature indistinct bodies, human eyes, and symbolic gestures suspended in richly atmospheric scenes. Blending surrealism with a softness that evokes the fluidity of memory, his imagery speaks to moments of becoming, dislocation, and psychic reflection.

Born to Nicaraguan parents and raised in Miami, Neyra’s cultural identity informs the sensibility of his work without defining it outright. Instead, it subtly inflects the emotional tone—an undercurrent of spiritual distance and searching—rather than manifesting as overt symbolism. His practice invites viewers into a shared, cross-cultural space of contemplation, where meaning lingers just beyond full articulation.
